Cardfight!! Vanguard:Rules UpdatesWith Effective from 29th September 2014, the following rules will be implemented in the game. As of October 2014, all official tournaments (shops, small-scale, major, etc) will also have the following rules implemented.(I) Clans RestrictionFor clan fights, a fighter will choose one clan, and build their deck with cards from the chosen clan.The only exceptions from having a single clan in a deck will be:(1) Those who choose to play a Royal Paladin clan, may play with up to four copies of "Blaster Dark" in their deck.(Rules Updated: Previously was up to 10 Shadow Paladin cards.)(2) Those who choose to play a Link Joker clan, may play any number of cards with "Яeverse" in its card names in their deck.---------(II) Legion Ability ErrataFrom Comprehensive Rules 10.2.9.2, when a card is already in [Legion], you can no longer use that card's [Legion] ability to shuffle cards to the deck.The existing [Legion] units will have the following ability be errata to:Activate [V]: [Legion20000「Unit Name」] If this unit have not been [Legion], and if your opponent has a grade 3 or greater vanguard, this unit return four cards from your drop zone to your deck only once, and search your deck for the specified card, and you may perform [Legion].}Activate [V]: [Legion21000「Unit Name」] If this unit have not been [Legion], and if your opponent has a grade 3 or greater vanguard, this unit return four cards from your drop zone to your deck only once, and search your deck for the specified card, and you may perform [Legion].}Cards examples for the updated rulings:- Seeker, Sing Saver Dragon: After you superior ride it from your deck by its effect, during your next main phase, you are not able to use the [Legion] ability of the new Seeker, Sing Saver Dragon as it is already in [Legion].If you superior-ride Seeker, Sing Saver Dragon (Soulmate Legion), and your opponent use the effect of Star-vader, BlasterJoker, to retire your legion mate, Blaster Blade Seeker, you still will not be able to use the Activate's skill to perform [Legion].- Metalborg, Black Boy: After you superior ride using the effect of Metalborg, Black Boy, the new Legion unit is already in [Legion], hence, you are not able to use the [Legion] ability of that unit.---------(III) Look/Draw up to (X) cards from the top of your deckLook up to or Draw up to (X) cards, now let you repeat drawing/looking at a card, up to (X). You may stop after each card.This is not a changes but a clarification.Previously:
It is implemented that you have to pick the number that you are going to look at before looking at any.

Updated:
You do not need to declare how many cards that you're going to look at, instead, you look at them one at a time, and may choose to stop after each card or until you hit (X).

Example:If I use Knight of Afterglow, Gerard's ability, prior to the changes in the rule, you have to look at the three cards. However, with the changes in the rulings, you can choose to look at the first card first, if it is a grade 3, you can stop there, if not, you can look at the 2nd card, till you hit the third card.This changes allow a player to not have to look through excessive cards, and is more beneficial.
